100-year-old woman shares her secret

Bless her

A 100-year-old woman whose photo went viral says the worldwide attention she has received is like "a dream".

Sadie Cox - who is known to her friends as Sim - celebrated her centenary at home in Brentwood, Essex, last week.

When postwoman Colette O'Connell delivered a telegram from the Queen she could not believe how young Sadie looked and took a photo of her.
This made me laugh

"I can't stand old people. I'm not on their wavelength.
Ok in context

"I can't stand old people. I'm not on their wavelength. They only talk about hospitals and the various appointments they've got. I don't want to know if you're getting your piles done tomorrow!

"Younger people always have something interesting to talk about, they talk about real life and what's going on now instead of reminiscing about how things used to be. Talk about what's going on today because that's the only thing we've got. What's been has been."

Fanatastic. That made me laugh about the 'Old' people.

My mum is a postwoman & today she delivered this lady’s telegram from the queen for being 100 years old. When my mum asked if she could take a picture & post it online, she asked will the whole world see it? She was told yes so she said, ooh yes put it on! How sweet x

What a wonderful lady, she certainly doesn't look her age and she has a great sense of humour which helps to keep her young

Re: 100-year-old woman shares her secret

She’s bang on there about the complaining, you’d want to hear some of the oldies up in my local, a moan a minute, when the wife asks me where I’m going now I don’t say to the pub anymore, I just say I’m off to the surgery love, see you later.
I admire that lady, she’s got the right outlook on life and long may she continue.

Re: 100-year-old woman shares her secret

Wonderful Azz. She sounds a right laugh. And kudos to her for prefering to be with younger people full of life rather than her own age group. Unfortunately, what she says is quite true. It comes to us all and health problems do tend to top the list of discussion once you reach a certain age. A sad but true statement.

Long may she live and continue to be young at heart.

I think she is marvellous, she has a great attitude and seems ‘on the ball’!

My only pick is, the wig in the second pic, could do with a comb!!

Re: 100-year-old woman shares her secret

As I have mentioned before, I am still in touch with the lady who saved my life when a horse and cart bolted towards me when I was two. She had her 100th birthday last August. She still has all her marbles, we have a pleasant chat every few weeks when I phone her.
